Local community resilience has been a solution to reduce human and natural origin damages for several decades in global studies. Various studies have addressed different aspects of resilience. However, using the results of this research to create local community resilience has always faced limitations. In fact, the neglected role of political economy in these studies has caused the application of policies and strategies resulting from these studies to face challenge to create local communities' resilience. Therefore, the aim of this research is to evaluate how political economy affects the resilience of local communities. The research method is mixed and qualitative analysis was used to analyze the impact of political economy on resilience and quantitative analysis was used to measure the extent of resilience. The research has investigated the impact of political economy on the aspects of resilience and measured the extent of resilience from economic, social, institutional, environmental, and physical aspects by selecting the central part of Zanjan. The results of the research show that political economy has caused the lack of role-playing of local communities in resilience creation. In fact, policy-making influenced by political economy has led to the formation of a rent economy, a top-down and centralized management system, and this was the main obstacle in creating resilient local communities directly and indirectly through the reduction of the role of local institutions, spatial segregation, housing rent, reduction of social capital, increasing greenhouse gases and poverty. Therefore, we need a transition from the current institutional environment take steps towards evolution, dynamism, and institutional transformation to create local communities' resilience in order to create a resilient local society.
在全球研究中，地方社区复原力一直是减少人为和自然源损害的一种解决方案。各种研究探讨了复原力的不同方面。然而，利用这项研究的结果来打造地方社区复原力一直面临着局限性。事实上，政治经济学在这些研究中被忽视的作用导致了这些研究产生的政策和战略在打造地方社区复原力方面面临挑战。因此，本研究的目的是评估政治经济学如何影响地方社区的复原力。研究方法是混合式的，采用定性分析来分析政治经济学对复原力的影响，采用定量分析来衡量复原力的程度。该研究调查了政治经济学对复原力各方面的影响，并通过选取赞詹的中心区域，从经济、社会、制度、环境和物质方面衡量了复原力的程度。研究结果表明，政治经济学导致地方社区在复原力建设中缺乏发挥作用。事实上，受政治经济学影响的决策导致了租金经济的形成、自上而下的集中管理体系，而这直接或间接地通过削弱地方机构的作用、空间隔离、房租、社会资本减少、温室气体增加和贫困等，成为打造有复原力的地方社区的主要障碍。因此，我们需要从当前的制度环境过渡，采取措施走向演进、活力和制度转型，以打造地方社区的复原力，从而创建一个有复原力的地方社会。
